Hazel was a homemaker and enjoyed putting in a large garden big enough for
her entire family and also growing beautiful flowers. She was most content at
caring for her children and grandchildren and spending time with them, but for
20 years she sold Avon and thoroughly enjoyed getting out and visiting with her
customers.

Hazel loved to read, crochet and play cards and board games. She especially
loved to play Skip-Bo and Uno with her grandchildren. She also loved to do word
search, play electronic games and collect angels. She loved Alan Jackson and was
his greatest fan. Her greatest joy was spending time with her family.

Graveside services with burial following were held Wednesday, March 25, 2009,
at 2:30 p.m. at Chambersburg Cemetery with Rev. Barb Hagerla officiating.
